Galaxy Camera and Wacom Bamboo Stylus Solo/Duo/Pocket

Did someone already used a Wacom Bamboo Stylus Solo/Duo/Pocket with his SGC ? (Bamboo Stylus Fell seems to be only with Note Model)
On google Play you can find an app named Bamboo Paper (Wacom Co. Ltd.) not compatible with SGC.
Need your reply !
Thx

All capacitive styli (ie models for iPad, iPhone and normal Android devices) should work without any problem.
The Feel-series, however, uses an entirely different technology (pressure sensitive technology that is used in graphics tablets) and does not work on any device that does not include that technology.

Is this really a capacitive stylus for Note 2? (Best Buy)

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung...ones/7278118.p?id=1218838640945&skuId=7278118
So here I am liking the simple fact that my many capacitive styli' can interact with the nav-keys so when I did a random websearch for Spen replacement, that link drew my attention. Is this really a replacement capacitive-type that can fit inside my Note 2 because that would be sweet to have the advantage of the Note 3's stylus without actually getting a Note 3. Does a capacitive replacement for our Note 2 even exist?

That's the stylus that comes with the phone. They don't make a capacitive stylus that fits in the phone, that's what our fingers are for.

Here's the 1 review from Best Buy. Pretty much sums it all up.
This review is for: Samsung - S Pen Capacitive Stylus for Samsung Galaxy Note II Mobile Phones
What's great about it: Exact replacement
What's not so great: Nothing
Long story short I broke my S-Pen and needed a new one. However, no need for an in depth review, but for anybody who may think this is different from the S-Pen that came with the Galaxy Note II, it's not. It's the exact replacement for the Titanium Gray Note II S-Pen. Shipped very fast and glad to have my S-Pen back after a couple of weeks of searching online. To be honest $30 is quite a bit, but if you have any reward zone certificates, use them that way you're not paying 30 bucks for a replacement S-Pen. I looked around on Amazon and it was hard to find one that had positive reviews that said it was an exact replacement.
Would you recommend this product to a friend?

s pen alternatives

Looking for serious note users. Was wondering the best s pen to use for longer writing sessions. I have tried the one with my note 12.2 pro and the one with my note 8.0 . Looking for some ideas. I thought I saw someone using the tab 3 s pen in a thread but I can't seem to find it. I like the larger style better for sure, for longer writing sessions.
Thanks

Maybe surface pen will work?

My tab s3 s-pen works.

Steadler pen/pencil

Any Wacom Digitizer pen will work .. eveny my 1st Gen surface pen works

Apple Pencil maybe ?

Sorry could not resist.
But seriosly the Apple Pencii is really great. I use it at work together with my iPad. It is close to normal writing on paper

From past experience not all wacom pens are fully compatible
The wacom stylus feel for galaxy note is compatible, same size and diameter as a full length pen, very hefty (weight and size), has a mechanical feel to it, ironically i personally never did like how it felt in the hand.
The wacom smart for galaxy note is also compatible, have not tried this one so no personal experience
And finally the s-pen from the galaxy tab S3, which actually is a really nice pen, it's about 3/4 length of a standard pencil, though it's feels a little light in the hand it has a really nice textured finished on the whole barrel (feels like rubber). I personally think it's size and weight is perfect for the note 8.

Been doing some research on this as well. Wacom Styluses using EMR technology will work on our Notes, but not newer technology. This is why only the first and second generation Surface pens work, but not the 3rd generations or newer. The newest Wacom Intuos styluses will also not work.

For the note line of devices Wacom actually uses what they term as "penabled" technology, only penabled compatible devices will work (these tend to be screens that support both capacitive touch and EMR pen). Gen 1 and 2 surface pro were using wacom penabled tech, microsoft brought N-Trig and used that tech for gen 3 onward (it's actually an active pen which requires AAAA batteries to work).
samsung XE700T1A slate 7 line had a full size pen (though some what slim), it was lightweight and had an eraser on the end (note 8 does not seems to recognize the function and acts like a pointer, but have not exhaustively tested against all apps). The Fujitsu lifebooks ive been told supported a pen with 2 buttons, but not had opportunity to test these out. Other notable makers are Asus with it's EEE Slate (full size pen) and lenovo (mini pen, slightly smaller than the galaxy tab S3)

Just a reminder for the OP: when using 3rd party pens, make sure to turn off "Spen detection" in power saving settings. The Note will ignore pen taps when that is enabled and an Spen is in the silo, so you'd think that the new pen is not working.

Oh.... That's what happened. I was wondering why it wouldn't work without the original s pen removed.
Thanks!!

But wouldn't keeping the screen energized for s-pen at all times, use extra battery power? And let me say from the beginning I have no idea if it's substantial amount or not to even worry about.

Yes keeping the screen active will drain some battery, though I don't think by very much as it will still sleep when screen sleeps.
Can also confirm eraser on the Samsung slate 7 pen will work as an eraser if the app can accomodate, sketchbook, Samsung note and artflow will utilise eraser, surprisingly OneNote and Photoshop sketch does not

Got the tab 3 s pen yesterday , what a difference. Feels good and no cramps after lots of writing. I would put up with the Note 8 being a bigger phone if they could fit this full size s pen in it! Today will see how much battery it uses since I set the the phone ro always detect so I don't have to pull the original s pen out.

Ok also got the steadler pencil as well. Works great, a little larger but just like holding and old school pencil. I really like both! Also , after 2 days now, I can tell no difference in battery life leaving the phone set to always detect s pen. I couldn't find a specific item in the battery menu that looked like the wacom screen, but really still awesome battery.

Which one do you prefer nuclearrage? Found no comparison of these 3 together!
- Samsung Galaxy Note 8 s pen
- Samsung Tab S3 s pen
- Steadler digital pencil
I also own a Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 and just love it! I use a S Pen Holder Kit so that if feels like a real pen. It has a et-s100ewegstd S Pen, which is the 1st S Pen ever released for the Note 1. I like it a lot, but not as precise as the original S Pen that comes with the note pro 12.2.
Would also the 2 other Samsung s pens work with the 12.2 ?
Thanks!

I don't know what u need the all this writing for but if u use it for school or work then I would use a tablet. I still got my beloved note 10.1 tablet and use it at work for quick notes for my daily report.
I wouldn't use a phone for lots of writing as it's too small to write longer S.A's and I can only imagine the annoyance of doing so.
Maybe keep an eye out if Sammy releases a new note tablet in the future if you find the note 10.1 to outdated.
Not that the above has anything to do with spen alternatives but just my two cents.

I have a note 12.2 , not waterproof and doesn't fit in my pocket. I use the spen for lots of notes , work and play. I also have little rite in the rain notepads when I am really roughing it. Just a personal preference.

S5e keyboard case with tab s6?

Anyone know if the s5e keyboard case works with the tab s6?
I like the form factor of the old case better and wonder if there is any difference in the pogo pin configuration. Any one have one to try?

I am also interested

I went to Best Buy to see if the 5SE Case would work with the TAB S6 and while the size is the same it will probably fit - the camera cut out is different - the Tab 5SE has a single camera and the TAB s6 has a double camera. So if the camera is not a big deal for you, it appears the case for the 5SE would work -
I am looking for a case that is a stable like the 5SE - but that has the correct Camera Cut out - no luck so far - but hoping someone knows where to find one? (the Logitech case I found doesn't have any camera cut out....so not sure there is one that is going to work - at least not yet)

I went to Best Buy today and the pins all line up on the S5e keyboard, but the magnet apparently do not. The Tab S6 will not "lock" in the dock over the pins.

Any one else tried this? I've ordered a S5se keyboard hoping it will fit.
Why? Well ...
I like the new keyboard for the Esc/PgUp/PgDn/Home/End buttons but hate pretty much everything else about it. With the kickstand out it takes up a lot more space i.e it doesn't fit on an airplane seat-tray so there goes working or writing on a plane. Stuck on the back inelegantly. Samsung should also have copied the iPad and had the pen on top with magnets rather than the unsightly bulge on the back.
The keyboard for the Tab S4 was great but no Esc/PgUp/PgDn/Home/End buttons.
Could live without the mousepad for a better form-factor. Always use a bluetooth mouse when I need a mouse anyway.

I like the form of the older keyboard also. When I tried it, the keyboard from the s5e would not attach to the tab s6. Let us know what you fing.

The Opposite
I was actually hoping kinda the opposite. I was hoping the Tab S6 keyboard would work for the S5e. Honestly, the only thing keeping the tablet from being perfect for me is the absence of the trackpad.

Well, I can update. The S6 does *NOT* work in the S5e keyboard cover.
not work
1. The magnets don't line up -- but worse they actually PUSH the S6 out so you can't even rest there but have to physically hold it in place.
2. Even if you do hold it in place. The keyboard is not detected and simply does nothing.
Shame for me ... thought about buying the S5e but no S-PEN. Don't care about the trackpad, I can use a BT mouse at my desk.
Oh well, so close Samsung. I find myself using a an iPad Pro 11" more and more

Galaxy Book 2
If you the would've made the Galaxy Book 2 in an android version. Or even better an updated version that dual boots Windows 10 and android, freakin dream machine right there.

Fyi the s5e charging dock does work with the s6, so there's that at least.

So dumb they reversed the magnets to repel the tablet. Sorry, you are only allowed laptop like productivity if you buy our most expensive product. F you. I already have a note 10+. I don't need the pen on my tablet. But I'd love to have something productive that's smaller than my Pixelbook. I realize this as I never use the pen on my S4, but I get annoyed at navigating and editing on its track pad-less keyboard.
Six generations it took to put a track pad on a keyboard when they've had cursor control from the get go. Just dumb. I'd get a Surface go, but it's just under spec'd.

STYLUS: What stylus are you using?

Currently using a generic capacitive stylus and it does not work great. Mind sharing your stylus and share your thoughts?

To be honest if you really want a tablet with a stylus, you should have gone with either the SGTS4 or the SGTS6 as both of those have the S-Pen. Which is the best stylus for a device.

To be honest, this is not helpful to tell someone they should have gone with another tablet for stylus support. How does this help?
I have the Galaxy Tab S5e because it's cheaper. Many styli do work on most if not all tablets. The only thing that tablets that have official stylus support offer is pressure sensitivity and palm rejection. Two features which are only necessary for artists. For taking notes, I don't give a F about pressure sensitivity nor do I rest my palm on the screen/ paper when I write.
I'll be testing some styli and get back to OP.

It helps by telling you you are wasting you time looking for a stylus for the S5e. There are two types of stylus. A plain capacitive touchscreen stylus that won't draw a line any finer than you can with your finger, and an electronic one like the S-Pen that will draw a line like a ballpoint pen. But the electronic one won't work with the S5e, so don't bother looking for one. They require a second digitizer that is situated behind the LCD and the S5e doesn't have one. The cost of that second digitizer is why the S-Pen tablets are more expensive. The pens themselves are fairly cheap.

I have Adonit stylus Dash 3 Silver, it works pretty well. It has problem when you are trying draw really slowly, It makes some weird curved lines. But I am using Sketchbook by Autodesk and it has some line smoothing what really helps.

Hi there
Let's be a bit more positive
I use a meko stylus. They are double ended.
One end is the normal blunt sort of stylus, which is great for on screen typing, while the other has a clear disc which allows you to see exactly where the fine center is touching the screen.
The actual stylus looks like a high quality steel pen with rubber finger grip
I bought a set of two 'pens' with 6 spare tips from Amazon for around £10 over a year ago and have only used 2 of the spare tips
Excellent quality and value. Highly recomanded.

I will grant you that that type of stylus beats the kind you can buy for about 50 cents each. But it is still a capacitive stylus that won't produce the fine line of an electronic one. There are apps which attempt to produce a "fine line" by extrapolating what would be the center of the "fat" line, but the results leave a lot to be desired. Bottom line, if you are serious needing a good stylus for your device, you need to purchase a tablet that was made for one. It's easy to tell. If the tablet didn't come with a stylus, it wasn't made for one.

Seems I've been handing out mistaken advice about stylii for "touch only" tablets. S-Pen and other "Wacom" based stylii DO require a second digitzer to work and most tablets simply don't have them. HOWEVER, I puchased a BoxWave Active Sylus because it was touted to work with my HP Envy X360 laptop. Just to prove it wouldn't work with a "touch only" tablet, I tried it with both my SM-T510 and T720 tablets. Much to my surprise, it works with both of them. I've never used a stylus for drawing, so I can't guarantee it works as well as an S-Pen, but it does produce a "ballpoint pen" type line in the drawing apps I tried. Also, the line width doesn't appear to be "pressure sensitive". I was able to buy mine on eBay for about $20, new with free shipping.
